The post second pinch-off dynamics are driven by rich rotation mechanisms around both the satellite and primary drops. The two pinch-off events create a small contracting liquid filament, characterised by local \(Oh \sim 0.05\)  and \(L_{ligament}/R_{ligament} \sim 2.62\)  and similar to those studied by [1]}, [2]}, and others. This small aspect ratio, in conjunction with the strong contracting kinetic energy derived from the second pinch-off, overcome capillary pressure forces to avoid an additional pinch-off instance in the small ligament. Observing the vorticity contours and the highlights at \(\tilde{t} = 2.39 - 2.49\) , an example of a vortex ring detachment can be noticed at the forming neck of the filament, where the vorticity boundary layer detaches and advects towards the centre of the bulbous region, pushing flow away from the neck and promoting the escape from pinch-off [3]}, [4]}, [5]}. As seen in \(\tilde{t} = 2.57\) , succeeding the small liquid filament retraction in the counter-flow direction (\(\tilde{t} = 2.49\) ) we spot a counter expansion (see positive \(\tilde{\omega }_{z}\)  at \(\tilde{t} = 2.57\) ) that generates the bullet-like satellite drop depicted at \(\tilde{t} = 2.63\)  and that eventually coalesces with the primary drop. The process of incorporation of the satellite into the primary drop exhibits the progressive growth of the finite liquid bridge [6]}, driven by the two opposite-signed high \(|\tilde{\omega }_{x}|\)  rings in its vicinity (see \(\tilde{t} = 3.10\) ) as well as complex dynamics of interfacial waves across the newly-formed drop (see \(\tilde{t} = 3.19 - 3.37\) ).
